Abstract

Standardization of Ayurvedic formulations is an important step for the establishment of a consistent biological activity, chemical profile, or simply a quality assurance in herbal drugs. The WHO specifies guidelines for the assessment of the safety and quality of herbal medicines as a prerequisite for global harmonization. The present study was focused on an exhaustive evaluation of standardization parameters of a herbo-mineral Ayurvedic tablet preparation “Trichup Tablet”. This was carried out employing the basic organoleptic test, physicochemical tests, and bio-assays by sophisticated instruments like HPLC and HPTLC. HPTLC fingerprinting, assays of marker compounds were carried out to confirm the presence of the raw materials in the finished product along with their quality and potency. The study results revealed that the Tablet formulation was well standardized at various levels such as Physical consistency, Chemical profile, Microbial and Heavy metal limits.
